Little National Hotel Newcastle
"Amazing communal work/lounge spaces. Comfortable, high-tech pod-style rooms with quality fixtures and fittings. Deliciously comfortable bed. Not thrilled about 35 dollar nightly fee to park in their own building, but I guess that is the way things are going...."

Lovely room with plenty of clothes storage, good choice of food at breakfast, dinner in the restaurant was great too. There's a laundry room available for those of us who are travelling and plentiful parking too. ..."
